The book i am reading "Satchel Paige Striking Out Jim Crow." I read 1942 to 1944. In 1942 Mr Walker Jennings died. The main character is Satchel Paige but Mr. Emmet is talking about him. Mr. Emmet's cotton season has started but he does not make his son help he has he learn his lesson's and catching fish and stuff like that. Then his son on the way home from fishing got beat up by the Jennings twins. The son works on the cotton field now. In 1943 Mr. Emmet went to church for the first time since he came back from his baseball tour. The book is good but is very confusing. The theme is Jim Crow laws and baseball. The best character is Satchel Paige. "All the nice statements in the world ain't gonna knock down Jim Crow." On question I have about the book is who is the book about?
